The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 599 - 640: In the end, the heart is too soft.
The luxury yacht sailed through the waves, heading straight for Unnamed Island.
Sienna Johnson stood at the bow, her sky-blue dress fluttering in the wind. She seemed so independent and otherworldly that it momentarily gave Adrian Desmond the illusion that she might be carried away by the wind at any second.
His heart tightened.
Adrian, clad in a white shirt and black pants, walked up behind her, encircled her waist, and held her from behind, as if by doing this, she would not be able to leave him.
"What are you thinking about?"
The man’s presence behind her was all too familiar; she didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
"Life is truly amazing," Sienna said. "I once longed to leave this place, dreaming of nothing but escape. Yet years later, I find myself willingly returning. I’m just feeling a little nostalgic."
"Mai, this is our home! Not a cage that confines you."
Unnamed Island was a cage, and their home in Abyanabad was also a cage, he thought. He disliked that idea. They should be considered homes, not cages.
Unnamed Island drew closer. Standing at the bow, Sienna could even see people moving about on it.
Thinking of all the bold things she had done in the past, Sienna laughed and asked, "Are the people on the island still the same ones from back then?"
"Most of them are, but we have some newcomers as well. Why do you ask?"
Sienna explained, "Back then, I drugged everyone on the island to escape. I’m afraid they might hold a grudge against me. Sixth Master, you’ll protect me, right?"
Adrian remained silent.
"Why aren’t you saying anything? Don’t tell me you’ll let them bully me? After all, I’m your wife, and I’m carrying your child."
Adrian’s face darkened. It wasn’t just a humiliation for the men on the island whom Sienna had drugged; it was Adrian’s own disgrace. That time, he had lost to a woman for the first time, suffering a total defeat with no pride left.
"Back then, I really wanted to kill you!" Adrian gritted his teeth. He was still consumed by hatred as he thought of it.
"Thank you for sparing my life, Sixth Master."
She turned her head and kissed his lips. She felt his lips tense and sensed his anger.
"Adrian, didn’t you say we’d put the past behind us? Why are you still bringing up old grievances now?"
"If you ever dare to run again, I’ll break your legs and lock you up with chains!" His hand on her waist tightened, a clear threat meant to intimidate and warn this cunning woman.
"Aren’t you fond of my long legs? If you break them, I won’t be beautiful anymore... Could you bear to do that?"
Adrian wanted to retort defiantly that he could, but he couldn’t bring himself to utter the words. How could he bear it? He would rather break his own legs than see her hurt even a single hair on her head.
"If you dare disobey me again, I’ll spank you hard!"
Adrian threatened, but his words held no real menace, because Sienna burst out laughing, causing Sixth Master’s face to darken even more.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Don’t be angry."
"Do you admit you were wrong?"
"Husband, I know I was wrong. Please don’t look so stern, it really scares me..."
As if anyone would believe this woman has ever been afraid of anything!
He turned her to face him. His gaze lingered on her red lips for a moment before he leaned in for a deep, forceful kiss, occasionally biting her out of frustration. Hearing her cry of pain, he couldn’t bear it and softened his actions.
Ultimately, his heart was too soft, and she had him completely wrapped around her finger.
"Ouch, be gentle..."
"Don’t leave me."
"Mhm, alright."
When the boat docked, Sienna had planned to disembark on her own. But Adrian, worried she might fall into the sea, carried her off himself.
There were so many people at the dock. Sienna looked at the dense crowd of men on the shore and was startled.
What are they doing?
"Adrian, why are they all on the shore?" Sienna asked curiously.
Adrian was also puzzled. He asked Tatu, who was nearby, "Are they all idle? Instead of working, what are they doing at the dock?"
Tatu, looking helpless, reluctantly explained, "They all wanted to catch a glimpse of Madam. I couldn’t stop them."
Adrian was displeased and pulled Sienna closer into his embrace. This is my woman, what are they looking at?
"What’s there to see? All of you, get lost!"
Usually, everyone would have obeyed his orders and quickly dispersed. However, their curiosity about Sienna was too great, and Adrian’s words held no power this time.
What kind of woman could drug more than fifteen men and make a clean getaway?
This was an absolute humiliation for these men!
...
"She’s so beautiful..."
"The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it tends to be—just like the man-eating flowers in the jungle."
"Do you think she’ll talk to me if I try to strike up a conversation?"
"I don’t know if Madam will bother with you, but Sixth Master will definitely kick you into next week. Haven’t you seen how possessive he is?"
"What’s he so possessive about?"
"He’s already well into his thirties and only just got married. Of course, he’s going to be possessive!"
"Why does Sixth Master have only one wife? With his wealth and status, he should have at least eight or ten, right? Even I have three wives."
"Brother, you must be new here. You don’t understand. Our Madam is quite ferocious. Back then, when Sixth Master wanted to marry another woman, she took their child and ran away. That’s why Sixth Master has only married her."
"Sixth Master can’t be... that..." The man hesitated, considering Sixth Master’s dignity, and couldn’t bring himself to say "afraid of his wife," so he rephrased, "...doting on his wife, is he?"
"Doting on his wife? I’m telling you, he’s afraid of her! Think about it, our Madam is so capable she managed to drug more than fifteen men on this island. If Sixth Master were to offend her and she decided to slip him some colorless, tasteless poison, wouldn’t his fate be miserable?"
"Whoa, that’s terrifying!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
...
Adrian’s hearing was excellent, and every word of those daring remarks reached his ears.
He shot a cold glare in their direction. Astonishingly, a few fearless men were still standing on tiptoe to get a glimpse of the woman in his arms. Adrian narrowed his eyes, his warning gaze sweeping over them, and only then did they somewhat restrain themselves.
"I haven’t set foot on this island for a few months, and you’re all planning a rebellion? Do my words mean nothing anymore?"
His tone was severe. Seeing Adrian’s anger, the crowd wisely decided to disperse and attend to their own affairs.
Little Ninth, not particularly afraid of Adrian, ran over. He glanced once at Adrian, then his gaze landed on Sienna and remained fixed there. "Sister-in-law, do you still remember me? I’m Little Ninth," Little Ninth said, identifying himself.
Sienna recognized Tatu and Little Ninth. She knew Adrian trusted them, but she didn’t know them well, as she had previously harbored grudges and had never really gotten to know them.
She smiled and said, "I remember. You’re Little Ninth." Her beautiful eyes appraised the man before her as she commented, "It seems like you’ve put on some weight?"
